Chapter 45: Xie Zhuoning's cunning tricks

Xie Zhuoning stretched his back and said, "It's still early. I can go have some tea with my second sister."

After hearing this, He Jinyun didn't have time to feel secretly happy.

Xie Zhuoning turned around again and said to her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the tea you made today is delicious. I'll come back for another cup some other day."

He Jinyun was so angry that she clenched the handkerchief in her hand so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

Will this plague god ever be over?!

No matter what, Xie Zhuoning and her Fenghua Pavilion people were finally sent away.

Looking at the empty hall, He Jinyun rubbed his brows and asked the servants to go to the public warehouse to move some tables and chairs to deal with the situation first.

She has become smarter now and dares not take out her own things anymore.

When she thought about the humiliation she had suffered today, her chest heaved with anger, "Xie Zhuoning, don't be so complacent, be careful or you'll fall into my hands one day!"

After saying that, he quickly called Shuangmei over and asked her to keep an eye on Xie Wanyin.

Now most of the land in the company belongs to the second wife, so she couldn't afford to quarrel with Xie Zhuoning.

But Xie Wanyin's personality is such that he can't care about these things.

She wanted to see if Xie Zhuoning could get anything good out of her unreasonable sister-in-law!

…

"No!"

When Xie Wanyin heard that Xie Zhuoning came to her house, she simply refused to let him in.

But those dainty little maids could not stop Xie Zhuoning with Xia Ju by his side.

A figure walked in from the doorway with her skirt fluttering. Her voice was clear and cheerful, with a smile on her face. "Second sister, why are you so irritable? As your elder sister, I won't eat you. I just came to have a cup of tea with you."

"No tea! Get out of here!" Xie Wanyin rolled her eyes in annoyance.

She can get out of bed now, but the scars on her back are extremely itchy while healing, and she can't lie flat, so it's difficult for her to sleep every day.

The most important thing is that the doctor said that even if the scars heal, they will accompany her throughout her life!

Not to mention that Xie Zhuoning sent her mother Liang away, leaving the first wife with a huge debt. Every one of these things was a result of deep hatred.

She just told Xie Zhuoning to get lost, which was already very polite!

"It doesn't matter if there's no tea, as long as there are snacks." Xie Zhuoning didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. When he saw several plates of snacks on the tea table, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

After eating, he nodded and said, "It tastes good."

Xie Wanyin looked at her leisurely appearance and gnashed her teeth in anger, "Xie Zhuoning, what on earth do you want to do here?"

Do you want to see her jokes and see how miserable her life is now?

"Don't get excited, second sister. You're still recovering from your injuries. It would be terrible if you get hurt by anger." Xie Zhuoning spoke softly, as if he was thinking about her.

"I came here for no other reason than my sister-in-law told me that you have collected a lot of beautiful jewelry, so I wanted to take a look and broaden my horizons."

Doesn’t He Jinyun want to divert the trouble away?

It's like no one will be bothered by it.

She said with a sigh, "My sister-in-law also said that when my aunt left, she left you a big box of dowry. She was so jealous of you."

Xie Wanyin's face turned red with anger and he almost swore.

That bastard He Jinyun!

She pretends to be virtuous on weekdays, but actually she is a vicious woman!

She snorted coldly, pretending to be ignorant, "What dowry, what jewelry, everything of value in my room, haven't you taken it all away?"

Grab?

That's called returning, that's called retrieving, that's called returning the property intact to its original owner!

Xie Zhuoning lazily raised his eyelids and counted silently in his mind: three, two, one...

A thick cloud of smoke rose from the inner room, and the maids shouted, "Oh no! There's a fire!"

Xie Wanyin turned around and saw that the fire was in her bedroom, and her face immediately changed color.

Without caring about the injuries on her body, she ran into the house quickly, holding a carved sandalwood box one foot square, and ran out quickly.

Xie Zhuoning glanced at Xia Ju, who immediately threw a small stone, hitting Xie Wanyin's calf.

She felt her legs go limp and she fell forward. The box in her hand was thrown open and all kinds of expensive jewels scattered all over the floor.

"Second sister, are you okay?" Xie Zhuoning hurried forward to help her.

“Stop pretending!” Xie Wanyin pushed her away and hurriedly put the jewelry back into the box.

Xie Zhuoning stood aside, looking at her meaningfully, "Second sister, didn't you say that all the valuables were taken away? Then where did these things come from?"

It couldn't be that she just conjured it out of thin air, right?

Xie Wanyin looked at the smoke that had been coming out of the bedroom for a long time, but there was no fire at all, and her face changed instantly.

She thought the bedroom was on fire, and subconsciously ran straight to her most important things, but she fell into a trap!

Now that the truth was out, she no longer tried to hide it. She simply held the box tightly, with an almost insane look of determination on her face.

"Xie Zhuoning, let me tell you, if you want to take my things, you have to step over my dead body!"

"My grandmother and my father will definitely avenge me, and the royal family will never allow a crown princess to force her own cousin to death!"

"I have nothing now anyway, the worst that can happen is that I will die with you!"

She has taken advantage of me in every way. Now if I just ask her to pay it back, does that mean I am forcing her?

Xie Zhuoning curled the corners of his lips, just finding it funny.

Fortunately, she had anticipated this and didn't expect Xie Wanyin to hand over the things on her own.

"Second sister, you misunderstood. We are all family. How could I force you to death? I won't take any of your things."

"Don't want mine?" Xie Wanyin had already made up her mind to give up everything, but she didn't expect Xie Zhuoning's reaction to be so far beyond her expectations.

With so many things, you just want to give them up?

She said vigilantly: "Don't coax me!"

Xie Zhuoning is very cunning and you will fall into her trap if you are not careful. Anyone who believes her is a fool.

"Second sister, you don't believe me? Then I'll send someone to invite Lord Yang, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, to come over and sign a written agreement in front of him, saying that I will never ask the eldest wife for a single needle, thread, or ounce of silver again, and all previous debts will be written off. How do you think?"

Xie Zhuoning spoke with great confidence, and it didn't seem like he was being hypocritical.

Moreover, once the document is approved by the government, it will be impossible for her to regret it in the future!

Xie Wanyin was skeptical, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Xia Ju, go and invite Lord Yang quickly." Xie Zhuoning ordered.

Xia Ju immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, Yang Fangwen, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, was invited over.

In the living room.

The two sides greeted each other.

Yang Fangwen asked, "Miss Xie, why did you ask me to come here?"

"I specially invited Lord Yang here because I want him to be a witness." Xie Zhuoning told him everything about writing the receipt.

Hearing this, Yang Fangwen's face was filled with astonishment and shock.

I heard that only two or three tenths of the things were recovered from the first wife, and she actually planned to throw away the rest?
